VIDEO/PHOTOS: Video recorded at the scene of a residential fire in Stapleton captures the moment two firefighters narrowly dodged roaring flames.
In the footage captured by Michael J. Carrasquillo, the blaze can be seen engulfing a vehicle to the side of the home. As firefighters move about before the front of the property, two firefighters can be seen emerging from a second floor window onto a portion of the roof.
“Get out guys, get out guys,” someone can be head saying in the nearly three minute video. Black smoke continues to billow from the side of the building as the flames rage on and whip toward the first responders, now in a precarious position.
A ladder from one of the FDNY vehicles on scene begins to extend toward the structure, a first responder manning the edge.
